About Fish Haven

Bear Lake in Idaho

Fish Haven lies between the shore of Bear Lake and the Bear River range of mountains, occupying a narrow strip of the valley and extending into the foothills. Fish Haven Canyon cuts westward into the mountains, through which flows a small stream, Fish Haven Creek. The mountains boast beautiful alpine forests and meadows, while the lower slopes closer to town are covered in sagebrush. The beautiful lake, known for it's blue water, extends for ten miles east of Fish Haven.

Fish Haven was settled in 1864 by Mormon pioneers, including Hugh Findlay and Henry Howell. Originally settled as a farming community, it is becoming a resort and retirement community with homes being built on the hills overlooking the lake.
